Bravo, Kevin Lundberg
Last month, prior to voting against common-sense rules for protecting Colorado's groundwater from oil drilling, [Colorado State Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud] challenged someone, anyone, to show him why he should be worried about global warming.

Before you jump to the phone to remind Lundberg that the vast majority of the world's leading climate scientists have been worried for decades about global warming and its potential impacts on weather patterns, sea level and more, you should know Lundberg's denial of the basic facts about global warming appears to be deeply entrenched.

Lundberg has made a string of unsupported outbursts about global warming, which, taken together, portray him as an extremist on the issue, to say the least, in the company of folks like Gov. Sarah Palin, R-Alaska, who completely reject the international climate modeling and empirical evidence that support global warming predictions.

Last year, Lundberg made Fort Collins proud by getting spotlighted in The Denver Post for claiming that the science underlying Gov. Bill Ritter's climate action plan is "junk science."
